Week 12 Tuesday

Guest lecture from Howard Silver of MIT libraries. Topic: finding regulations/mandates that relate to your project. FDA? EPA? USDA?
Content for today is here. Also there are library patent support pages here.

And here's the link to the NPR story featuring our oft-used example Eau d'Coli and our very own 20.902ers. We Are Bioengineers, indeed.
